Seats don't go far enough back in Primeras for me to get comfy.

 

Dunno why, about the only car I know that I suffer from a lack of legroom in. Nice cars otherwise.

V8? This would stand a chance of doing the trip, though its value in Europe is probably even less than in the UK, making it no use I suppose:

On the plus side, it has apparently been looked after 'like a son' (hopefully not a ginger one)

It's a 3.0 sixpot, with cloth and a kid in the boot.

 

May not be the wisest thing to take across Europe..

Any good?

Sorry to hark on about the Jag, but there does appear to be a "scene" appearing in Europe at the moment for good 40's. RHD not a problem, and thankfully "scene" doesn't mean rust (which is actually a shame if you think about it) and droopy eyes. A friend of mine buys up average and good condition XJ40's (they are about) for a few hundred and flogs them to Europeans for thousands. He's got a waiting list! It's funding his hobby. A decent "twin airbag / battery in the boot" 3.2 Sovereign will be your best bet. Mugglestone Patrol engined jobs and pick-up conversions need not apply though. Daimlers too.

 

An average condition V12 recently sold for €11k in Finland.

They think £1500 is cheap.
